It doesn't even turn over it just clicks once and then doesn't do anything. I tested my battery and that is fine, all the lights, radio, etc works just fine. Any ideas on how to get this going? I think I am going to have to call someone to come out and fix/tow it, who would I ave to call? way2old Veteran / Moderator Feb 19, 2008, 6:20 PM Post #2 of 3 (1407 views) Re: 1995 Ranger won't start (doesn't even turn over) Sign In Have someone turn the key to the start position and take a hammer and tap the starter to see if it will start. Don't beat the starter, just tap it. If it starts, replace starter. Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Feb 20, 2008, 8:51 AM Post #3 of 3 (1402 views) Re: 1995 Ranger won't start (doesn't even turn over) Sign In To add: The hammer trick when starters do that can frequently make the connection improve for another start where the brushes contact to shaft in the starter. See the lighter metal rectangle boxes above have spring loaded carbon pile (brushes) touching the copper contacts on the armature/shaft. They can glaze and discolor like shown and don't get enough contact to turn the motor. As way2old said if the trick works it's practical to replace the starter as finding parts to fix this and the fussyness of many isn't always worth it, T   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
